Free-agent safety Xavier Woods has agreed to a three-year, $15.75 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday night.
Woods, 26, spent last season with the Minnesota Vikings, appearing in all 17 games. He started his career with the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent four seasons after being a sixth-round selection in 2017 out of Louisiana Tech.
Woods signed a one-year deal with Minnesota in March 2021 after starting 48 of 60 games for the Cowboys. Woods replaced Anthony Harris, who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, and started opposite perennial Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith.
